Nuclear compilation
details as follows:
1. Download the kernel file such as: Linux-2.4.18-3.tar.gz copy to / usr / src directory and decompressed.
# CD / USR / SRC
# TAR ZVXF Linux-2.4.18-3.tar.gz
2, enter the decompression directory. (/UsR/src/linux-2.4.18-3, depending on the name)
# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3
# Make MrProper
# Make Xconfig
3, select, set yourself, set your personalized kernel. I finish "save and exit"
4, compile.
# Make Dep
# make clean
# Make Bzimage (i is capitalized)
5, compilation module.
# Make Modules
# Make Modules_Install
# depmod -a
6, compile completion, start replacement files.
# cd / boot
# rm system.map
# RM VMLinuz
# mv /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/system.map system.map
# mv /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/Arch/i386/boot/bzimage VMLinux
7. Modify the boot settings.
GRUB is /boot/grub/grub.conf file lilo is /etc/lilo.conf file
You can use commands
# mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-3.img 2.4.18-3 to generate an initrd file.
Use GRUB to give examples. (Red section)
# Grub.conf generated by Anaconda
#
# Note That You Do Not Have to Run Grub After Making Changes To this file
# NOTICE: You Have A / Boot Partition. This Means That
# All kernel and ionrd paths are relative to / boot /, eg.
# root (HD0, 7)
# kernel / vmlinuz-version Ro root = / dev / hda10
# initrd /initrd-version.img
# Boot = / dev / hda
DEFAULT = 1
TIMEOUT = 5

Restart the computer and finish.
Additional information:
The kernel is compiled after the following positions.
1. Bzimage file /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/Arch/i386/boot catalog
2. Plug-mounted module /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/Arch/i386/lib directory
3. Installed module file /LIB/Modules/2.4.18-3 directory
